I have 27 containers running with rancher on windows. Long story short, I'm tired of the resource use and stress on my machine by running the VM. My data folders are split up by duty (admin, utility, media, virtualization) each duty has its own folder, containing the services' folder with data/config directories and one compose.yaml file for those services. All the compose files are connected to a master compose file in the parent directory that starts all of them. My compose files have references to the media hdds that are defined with an .env file next to the master compose.

I need to clone my docker setup to a Debian install I've been working on on its own ssd. I've been screwing with Linux unsuccessfully for almost 20 years, so my cli is weak. I'm looking for a tool that will clone my volumes and containers.

What do you use?

@horus_son_of_isis I can't tell you a tool for migrating. But for managing Docker / Podman container under linux, i really like #Dockhand . Many describe it as the better #Portainer (i havent used portainer, so i cant tell)
But I think for that you would need to adjust your current setup (as i understood one compose file "manages" other compose files) and split them up.
